If you make business decisions based on postal data, Caliper ZIP Code updates will ensure you are using the latest information. The Caliper ZIP Code Data package contains a nationwide area database with ZIP Codes for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the territories. It also includes a point database of ZIP Code centroids and 3-digit ZIP Code Areas for the entire country. Caliper updates this to provide up-to-date access to United States Postal Service changes.

The 5-Digit ZIP Codes data product is refreshed twice a year. If your Maptitude is more than six months old you can update to the most up-to-date nationwide United States Postal Service ZIP Code definitions and create the most accurate ZIP Code maps

The updates reflect the latest Post Office ZIP Code changes including:

  • Areas created for college campuses, government facilities, office buildings, etc.
  • Boundaries adjusted for ZIP Code areas to more closely reflect carrier routes.
  • Updates to ZIP Codes based on Postal Bulletin Changes to reflect ones that were created, changed, or discontinued.
